My Spanish Notes - Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias - Happy Thanksgiving
|
Posted: 28 Nov 2013 09:20 AM PST
If you want to tell your Spanish speaking friends Happy Thanksgiving, then this is the phrase you want:
Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias Happy Thanksgiving That's all fine and dandy, but it gets old and it's not very much fun. Lucky for you there are a few other ways to say it that might impress your Spanish friends. But before we get to those, let's talk about a few words you may not be familiar with. The first one is pavo. Here's a pavo:  That's right, it's a turkey. And unlike with fish, pavo is the same word for seeing one in the wild and eating it on your plate. Como preparar un sandwich de pavo How to make a turkey sandwhich That piece of information is probably not a big surprise, I'm sure many of you already know the word pavo. But you may be surprised to hear that pavo isn't the only word for turkey. In Mexico a pavo is also called guajolote. In Guatemala it's a chompipe. Cuba? guanajo. There are probably even more words for turkey, but I think you get point. So what does any of that have to do with Thanksgiving you ask? I'm sure nearly all of my American readers know have heard the phrase "Happy Turkey Day". Well with your new found Spanish vocabulary for turkey you can now say the equivalent in Spanish. Felíz día del pavo Happy Turkey Day That's pretty generic and should be understood anywhere. Now if you want to impress your Mexican friends, you can say: Feliz Día del Guajolote Got Guatemalan friends? Wish them Happy Thanksgiving with this: Feliz Día de Chompipe Well, that's it for today! Except for one last thing:  ¡Chao!  |

If you don't know what a regla is, it's a ruler. But that's not the only definition of regla, nor is it the definition we're here to talk about.
When you hear someone refer to la regla, it's a way of referring to the menstruation cycle, or el ciclo menstrual. You can also say periodo menstrual. La regla me vino por primera vez con 15 My period came for the first time when I was 15 No me viene la regla My period didn't come But just like in English, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Estoy en mis días I'm on my period Ando en mis días I'm on my period Está con la regla She's on her period 
I'm on my period, don't talk to me
When it comes to talking about when "la regla" did or didn't arrive, you can use the verb venir like the examples above but there's also another very common option using the verb bajar. No me baja My period didn't start Me bajó hace una semana My period started a week ago Me debía de haber bajado desde el día 21 My period should have started on the 21st If you have 52 seconds, want to practice your listening skills and want a good laugh, then this video is for you. Be sure to listen for the phrases we just talked about. That's it for today! I hope you all learned something and got a good laugh from the video. ¡Hasta la próxima!  |

Huatulco’s living legend – The Cross of the Sea
Published on November 22nd, 2013 | by Marco Schiapparelli
http://www.amstardmc.com/blog/huatulcos-living-legend-the-cross-of-the-sea/
Huatulco’s living legend – The Cross of the Sea
Legends and myths make up Huatulco as much as its cliffs covered in deep jungle or the emerald and blue bays. They speak of pirates, saints and Indians. They make up the towns and villages, the cities and monuments. They are are the foundations of Huatulco. The biggest legend of them all still carries on nowadays… Do you know its story?
The Cross of the Sea
The legend reckons that during the first century A.D. a bearded, white man arrived on a small boat to the coast where nowadays lies Santa Cruz Huatulco. The man was carrying an enormous log, that somewhat resembled the shape of a cross. Once he got to the beach, which was populated by Zapotec and Mixtec Indians, he raised the log in the middle of it without any help. He then spent some time with the locals teaching them new agricultural techniques and cultural improvements. Finally, he left with the same boat he had arrived in.
Some say that this man was Quetzalcoatl, while catholic sources believe he was St Thomas the Apostle.
The town received its name from the cross this man left there (Santa Cruz means the Holy Cross in Spanish). The cross, from that moment on has been object of worship and adoration from the local Indians and even from other ethnic groups from the surroundings.
The origin of “Huatulco”
About two centuries before the Spanish conquest of Mexico, the Huatulco area was colonized by the Mexicas, who we commonly name Aztecs. After noticing the locals worshiped the wooden cross, they called the place “Cuauhtolco”, a Nahuatl word which means “the place where the wooden log is adored”.The Cross lived on!
After the Spanish conquest in 1521, Huatulco was one of the most active ports of New Spain. The small port thrived and grew, but in 1587 it was terribly attacked. The privateer Thomas Cavendish looted the area for months, forcing the local population to escape to the villages of Pueblo Viejo (Old Town) and Piedra de Moros (Moors Stone) – two towns you can visit with the Local Villages and Traditions tour and the Outback Safari tour!
The legend of the Cross of the Sea reached its climax exactly during this historical period…
The pirate Cavendish was a protestant and during his pillage was intrigued by the local worship of the cross, a symbol of Catholicism. He tried to destroy the sacred log in several different ways with no success. The cross was attacked with knives and axes, but it didn’t get cut. It was set on fire, but it didn’t burn. Finally, it was tied with ropes and chains to Cavendish’s ship, in order to pull it down into the ocean, but the ship stopped, unable to move!
Nowadays…
After some time, the Bishop of Oaxaca ordered the log to be cut (with good intentions!). They were to make three big crosses: one was sent to the Vatican and another one to the Cathedral of Oaxaca. Some sources say the third one is in Mexico City, while others reckon it is in Puebla.
From the process of making the three crosses, several “discarded” pieces of wood were used to make smaller crosses. One of them is conserved inside the Chapel of Santa Cruz, which you can visit on the Huatulco City Tour, and another one is in the Church of Santa Maria Huatulco, which you can visit during our 3 Levels of Huatulco.

Last night in Peru. Sweet Dreams. Lot of heat. A little cold. Lake Titicaca at 12,507 feet, climb up to the top of Tequile Island at 13,287 feet above sea level ... the air so thin. AND I DID IT!
Some 43 years ago, Mrs. Russell, my 4th grade teacher at Edison Elementary located in South Tacoma assigned me to complete a report on Peru. I earned an "A" on that report. Ever since that report I have wanted to visit Peru. And now I have.
I climbed to the top of Machu Picchu, twice. The second climb I sat on top next to the Inca Trail and ate lunch.
I danced with topless indigenous Bora women in costume.
I at grubs shish-co-bob. (Needed salt).
Ate fruits and nuts I had never seen before.
Smelled Belen market, and smiled with its people.
MotoKars!
Bought from the markets witch doctor a small bottle of oil for a blister I developed on both calves of my legs. She said all you need to do is put on blister twice a day and 'believe' it will work. Hell of a blister on my calves from the top of both boots I wore on a 5 hour hot wet jungle walk.
Walked on two Uro floating islands.
Walked and sweat and walked and sweat. Rode boats and sweat. Swam and sweat. Slept and sweat. Fed Monkeys and sweat. Held a frik'en big snake and sweat. Explored the jungle with a fine and honorable guide named Jino and sweat. And more and sweat. I still have many pictures to post.
Flying on 12 different flights in two weeks.
I have fulfilled a 4th grade goal which has left me with many sweet dreams.
Cool.
My room for my last night in Peru. Drinking a Cusquena. On the 4th floor. Great view. With fireworks right now outside in this big city. The Latins sure like their fireworks. Dogs barking. Kids playing. Someone driving by shouting of what he has for sale ...
Here's the link to Limper Bed And Breakfast, Lima, Peru:
https://www.facebook.com/limper.alojamientos.9?fref=ts
Call by pay phone for pick up. (A taxi driver will be standing either by the Domestic flight, or International flight entrance/exit (depending on your incoming flight) of the airport. The taxi driver will be holding a sign up with your name. Pick up receiver. Put in the pay phone at least 1 Soles coin. Dial 992105125.
Very nice and honest people here. Very clean. FAST WiFi. Close to airport. Not the nicest neighborhood so this is the place to stay overnight waiting for a next day flight or tour. No need to leave. Ask reception down stairs for a menu of whatever you want delivered to eat that night. Ask the front desk for a taxi of where ever you would like to go. Keep their phone # handy for pickup back to Limper B&B. You pay the front dest for the taxi...NOT the taxi driver. Keeps things honest. The first night I stayed I ordered 1/4 pollo dinner with salad and Fry's and a variety of sauces. Was delivered fast. They have a variety of menu's to choose from for delivered food. I wanted to try the delivered pizza tonight but I am still full from my visit to McD's at the airport.
So what did it cost?
Pickup at airport.
Room
Satellite TV... I am watching CNN right now.
FAST WiFi, I am posting right now.
Very clean and comfortable.
Reception speaks English.
Breakfast: Last time was a variety of bread, butter, jam, fresh fruit juice, coffee or a variety of tea's, whole strawberries floating in pink yogurt with a dash chocolate...
Wake up.
Taxi back to airport.
Total 190 soles.
190 soles divided by today's exchange rate of 2.8 equals $67.85.
I was advised by Jack of 4-Corners in Grand Coulee, Washington State, USA that Peruvians are friendly. I agree.
It will be nice to be at home again, too.
Sweet dreams...
:)
Ivan
Good night, Lima.
